[There are a few points where Alucard's hands slow down, because what Trevor is describing is truly the stuff of terror to him. That anyone could cause the castle to behave in such a way still feels untrue. That basics like night and day could be obscured, and he almost says just that.

It isn't the point. The point is listening, and knowing how this could have gone instead. That the castle could have betrayed him, had Trevor gone through with the actual plan he had rather than what he went with in the end.]

I suppose peaking out a window might've thrown off things. Or owning a watch that's just on one's wrist.

[They're gentle prods, more jokes than real critiques of what Trevor's said. But by the time he's done, talking about much sense in trying, Alucard's wrapped his arms around Trevor tighter and is giving him a much tighter squeeze.]

For any host of reasons, I'm glad you didn't go with the plan.

[His husband. That's all he can think, and Alucard's face is buried into the top of Trevor's head.]

Better thought out than mine with Her.
